===Museums and special collections===
For the 1951 [[Festival of Britain]], Holmes's [[living room]] was reconstructed as part of a Sherlock Holmes exhibition, with a collection of original material. After the festival, items were transferred to [[The Sherlock Holmes]] (a London pub) and the Conan Doyle collection housed in [[Lucens]], Switzerland, by the author's son, [[Adrian Conan Doyle|Adrian]]. Both exhibitions, each with a Baker Street sitting-room reconstruction, are open to the public.<ref name="Swissinfo">{{cite web|url=http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/two-sherlock-holmes-museums-in-switzerland--elementary-/14590|title=Two Sherlock Holmes museums in Switzerland?

In 1969, the [[Toronto Reference Library]] began a collection of materials related to Conan Doyle.
